Perry, Elizabeth J., and Hanchao Lu. 2015. “Narrating the Past to Interpret the Present: A Conversation with Elizabeth J. Perry.” The Chinese Historical Review 22 (2) (November): 160–173. doi:10.1179/1547402x15z.00000000051.

Abstract

In this sparkling and candid conversation, Elizabeth Perry reminisces about her early years in Japan, her first trip back to China in the late 1970s, her reconsideration of the Chinese revolution, and interdisciplinary studies and her career as both a political scientist and historian. Perry shares her insights into the cultural resources of the Chinese Communist Party, the resilience of the Chinese regime, comparisons of the Chinese and Russian revolutions, human connections between the city and the countryside, global issues facing higher education, and her leadership and vision as the director of the Harvard-Yenching Institute.
